This project will explore perceptions of vulnerability and exposure to bushfires and natural hazards among diverse communities within Darwin, and the impacts of this vulnerability on health and wellbeing. It will specifically consider the experiences of ethnic minorities, economically marginalised groups, the non-housed, and FIFO residents. It will develop socio-economically and culturally contextualised understandings of natural hazard vulnerability and health, and will contribute to the development of risk management interventions and preparedness strategies that are appropriate and address the concerns and needs of these diverse communities.
